About Site Administration

Overview

When a site is created it is assigned one administrator. This administrator can

add project members, who can also function as administrators if they are given

the proper permissions.

If you are the administrator, log into your site using the username and

password supplied to you. Once you are logged in, you can add site members

and projects. It is easier to add all members at the site level first and then

create the projects. After you create a project, you can assign the site members

to it, giving them the permissions they need to participate in the project.

Project members see only the project(s) to which they belong. If a user is not

assigned to any project, they will not see any projects when they log in. This

gives you complete control of security for any sensitive material.

NOTE Assign permissions carefully. Once users have Edit permission for a project,

they have the ability to overwrite files.

Many project members need just read-only (View or List) permission. Note

that a user can have View permission for one project and Edit permission for

another project. It is up to you as the administrator to decide who gets which

permissions for each project.

The Site Administrator icon is how you get to administrative tasks, including:

■ Adding members and groups

■ Changing permissions

■ Viewing a list of all the activities within the site (such as, who logged in,

which file was read and downloaded)

The administration tabs appear in the details view to the right of the shortcut

bar.
